Re: Canada - do I need model release for tradeshow shots?
Which law would that be?
Strangely enough, with the various English speaking countries having some shared roots in \"common law,\" the US has by far the more evolved privacy and \"publicity\" laws. So in the US, most states would support having permission before using an image \"commercially\" (promotionally). But to suggest that \"news\" is the only use not requiring permission is incorrect under US state laws.
I\'ve seen nothing that suggests that Australian or New Zealand laws mirror the US even remotely in this way and haven\'t seen Canadian laws on this recently. It\'s my understanding that Quebec may be stricter than the US, but not sure.
